Implementation

RGB LEDs & Colors

#include <Felix8A.h>

Felix8A::RGB rgbLED(9, 10, 11);

const uint32_t colorArray[] = {
    Felix8A::Color::RED,
    Felix8A::Color::ORANGE,
    Felix8A::Color::GREEN,
    Felix8A::Color::BLUE,
    Felix8A::Color::WHITE
};

const Felix8A::Palette ColorPalette(colorArray);

void setup() {
    // setup code
    rgbLED.begin();
}

void loop() {
    // loop code
    for (int i = 0; i < ColorPalette.size(); i++) {
        rgbLED.setRGB(ColorPalette[i]);
        delay(1000);
    }
}

LEDs

#include <Felix8A.h>

Felix8A::LED led(6);

const unsigned long blinkInterval = 1000;
unsigned long lastBlink = 0;

void setup() {
    // setup code
    led.begin();
}

void loop() {
    // loop code
    if (Time8A::every(blinkInterval, lastBlink)) {
        led.toggle();
    }
}

Button Inputs

#include <Felix8A.h>

Felix8A::LED led(6);
Felix8A::Button bttn(2);

void setup() {
    // setup code
    led.begin();
    bttn.begin();
}

void loop() {
    // loop code
    bttn.update();

    if (bttn.wasClicked()) {
        led.toggle();
    }
}
